Who Wore What on the Met Gala 2019 Red Carpet

The
annual Met Gala was in full swing at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, and
this year, fashion’s most anticipated night is all about “Camp: Notes on Style”.
It’s about people, things, actions and attitude – a studied triviality encompassing
everything from granny specs to pink flamingos making us swoon looking at the
red carpet; where else do celebs take such risks after all? Most stars take the
dress code very seriously and this year, we expect it to be no different,
especially because the theme leaves much room for playful, exaggerated
interpretation.

Let’s take a look at
the outfits from the night of absolute excess mixed with generous doses of
glamour:

Lady
Gaga

Gaga outdid herself by making a grand entrance in her four outfits’ look, bringing Camp to life in a fuchsia gown by Brandon Maxwell. She used the carpet as an opportunity for performance art, walking with an entourage of five dancers, her personal photographer and her make-up artist.

Billy
Porter

The man
literally gave us a full Cleopatra moment in his bejeweled cat suit with
massive wings, a 24 Karat gold headpiece and custom Giuseppe Zanotti shoes;
carried by six litter bearers on a black velvet couch.

Deepika
Padukone

She
looked like a Barbie that hopped straight out of the box. Deepika wore a custom
Zac Posen, underwater-inspired gown with glittery sea urchins on it. How cute
is that?

Katy
Perry

Katy lit
up the night in her chandelier outfit – a perfect way to pay homage to Susan
Sontag and her 1964 essay, Notes on 'Camp'. She even mentioned that the power
source to the chandelier is through “her heart.”

Kendall
Jenner and Kylie Jenner

The
sisters were spotted twining in showgirl inspired embellished feathered gowns
by Versace.

J-Lo is
no novice when it comes to making a statement on the red carpet and she
confirmed it to the ‘nth’ degree with her sparkly Versace dress and pin-thin iridescent
heels.

Serena
Williams

She proved that she’s a champ both on and off the tennis court by rocking a dramatic canary yellow Versace gown with off-white kicks by designer Virgil Abloh.

Sophie
Turner and Joe Jonas

The newly dubbed Mr & Mrs Jonas took the theme very seriously and were spotted coordinating in Louis Vuitton by Nicolas Ghesquière

Cardi B

When
Camp got mixed with feminism, it resulted in the largest, reddest and possibly
the heaviest gown (designed by Thom Browne) that the rapper wore for the gala night.

Kim
Kardashian

Kim’s
ocean soaked Met Gala look gave an illusion of a dripping wet appearance with
its beads and sequins detailing. The skin fitted dress by Thierry Mugler looked
mesmerizing as it seemingly defied the laws of physics.
